Good Burger 2 is a 2023 American comedy film that serves as a sequel to the 1997 original, which stemmed from a sketch on Nickelodeon's All That. Directed by Phil Traill, written by Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert, and produced by Nickelodeon Movies and Artists for Artists, the movie stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell in their respective roles as Dexter Reed and Ed. The plot centers on Dexter Reed returning to Good Burger, his former workplace, where he reunites with Ed and discovers a secret connected to a rival restaurant.

Discussions about a sequel began in 2018, driven by the interest of Thompson and Mitchell, who had previously appeared together in a sketch on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2015. The official announcement came in March 2023. Kopelow and Seifert, who created the original sketch and co-wrote the first film, were brought on to pen the screenplay. Traill was confirmed as director. Thompson and Mitchell were set to reprise their roles as Dexter Reed and Ed. Filming took place from May to June 2, matching the schedule of the initial production. Record producer Oak Felder composed the soundtrack.

Good Burger 2 premiered on November 22, 2023 via streaming platform Paramount+, and critics offered mixed responses.
